Notes :
(1) Some slight confusion with regards to the tour name; the ticket is marked 'The Humber Roundabout' however the tour itinerary, loco headboard and dining menu all called this 'The Humber Belle'; it is therefore assumed the ticket was incorrectly named.
(2) On the return journey the train overshot the Grantham stop and had to set-back to the station.
